The Feuchtwanger Memorial Library at the University of Southern California Libraries provides research grants for scholars whose work would benefit from access to German exile study materials in the USC’s archival and printed collections. The Feuchtwanger Memorial Library and Archive were given to USC by Marta Feuchtwanger, the widow of the German exile writer Lion Feuchtwanger (1884-1958). Lion Feuchtwanger fled Europe during World War II and lived in Los Angeles from 1941 until his death in 1958. The voluminous archival material collected by Feuchtwanger includes his personal and business correspondence, multiple versions of his novels, reviews of his works, photographs, and other personal artifacts. In addition, the Archive contains the correspondence of Marta Feuchtwanger who survived her husband by almost thirty years. Marta Feuchtwanger remained an important figure in the exile community and devoted the remainder of her life to promoting the work of her husband. The Archive also includes significant archival collections for composer Hanns Eisler, writer Heinrich Mann, literary scholar Ludwig Marcuse, and literary agent, Felix Guggenheim.
